    It's not the fault of the author but rather that of... um... those who'd be Slashdot editors.

    IF Slashdot had any actual editors.

  4. Another example: my friend worked at a liberal-filled office last year: he dared to point out that Trump might possibly be not quite the Hitler Russian Nazi his boss believed... So yeah, the guy lost his job...

    I believe the only proper response to this is, "Pics or it didn't happen."

  5. Oh, and I get plenty of nookie, don't have to worry about VD, and I've never used Tinder. So fuck you and your false dichotomy.

  6. Or the Jews who decided to stay in Germany in the 1930s, trusting in the goodness and spirit of the DNC...

    The fuck? If you're going to copy/paste trolls, you need to learn about find/replace as well, matey.

    Wrong. It'll take 6 billion years just to *begin* the conversation:

    THEM (3 billion years ago): Hi!

    US (now): Hi!

    THEM (3 billion years from now): So... Come to this galactic supercluster often?

    Oh. You've absolutely no idea what a yuanbao is, do you? And neither does your Twitter buddy, evidently.

    Anyhow, thanks for the chuckle.

    I haven't seen him picking produce, but he did work on the renovation of our apartment building this past year. He's from Perú, BTW.

    Yes, it's the same here in Sweden--the locals get lazy/complacent and perfectly happy to let foreigners (mostly Poles and East/Southeast Asians) do the drudge work. Then the foreigners get blamed for whatever is perceived as the next crisis. The only reason I don't get much of that here is because I'm the same colour as the locals.

    A couple of months ago, I was sitting behind some prat who smelt of beer lecturing his seatmate about those awful foreigners coming to Sweden and taking all the benefits. So I said to the air behind his head, "Yes, I came to Sweden to do a job no Swede would or could do. How much did you make last year?"

    "Oh, I don't have a job right now."

    "So in other words, a foreigner is paying twice the taxes he would at home so you can have rent and beer money."

    "Um..."

    "And you've nothing to do say about THAT, do you, now?"

    "Um..."

    "We're done here, I think. Have a nice day, motherfucker."

    No, but it's just SO FUCKING HARD these days to hire editors who can read and write intelligible English AND who actually know something about the subject matter.

    ...AND who'll work for click-throughs...

    I swear, some days coming here is only slightly preferable to getting fucked with a broken broom handle.

    Never heard of any of them, probably because I'm not too lazy to do my own grocery shopping. I especially wouldn't trust someone else to pick out produce for me.

    Damn straight, mate. My wife or one of our friends? Sure. Some stranger who's main concern is maximising his deliveries made per hour? No way, José.

    With all the references to "city managers", it sounds like a firm that provides outsourcing for local governments.

    I hope I've not just given someone an idea...

    To whoever paid $$$ for Slashdot. Kick your current crap crop of editors out and bring in someone who knows what they are doing.

    I've let them know that I'd be interested, but I won't work for click-throughs. So I'm not hopeful.
